On the other hand, overpopulation is considered as aging for any country. The present study was conducted to show the changing demographic scenario of Bangladesh by reviewing recent literature, especially population censuses of Bangladesh and other sources of demographic data. The division wise spatial distributions of demographic data were carried out by using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. The population growth occurred rapidly with a steady state since 1974 to 2011. In 1974, highest and lowest number of population was found in Dhaka (21316067) and Khulna (14195274) division respectively. In 2011, highest and lowest number of population was found in Dhaka (47424418) and Barisal (8325666) division respectively. The growth of population was almost double in the large cities like Chittagong and Dhaka, after 37 years (1974-2011). The density of population was higher in urban areas where industrialization occurred rapidly. The highest and lowest population density was found in Dhaka (685 per square miles) and Khulna (401per square miles) respectively in 1974. In 2011, highest population density was also found in Dhaka division (1502per square miles). Compared to 1974, the literacy percentages of all the divisions were more than double in 2011. The highest and lowest literacy rate was found in Dhaka (56.75) and Syllhet division (45.01) respectively in 2011. Due to the advancement and improvement of heath care and medical facilities and prevention of some specific fatal diseases the death rate and life expectancy of Bangladeshi population was decreased and increased respectively. In 1981, the life expectancy at birth was only 54.8 years, but in 2011, it increased to 69 years at birth. Increased life expectancy results demographic variability because the highest percentage of the population is considered as aging. This study will strengthen the knowledge of current and past demographic conditions of Bangladeshi population so that the policy planner and policy maker can make proper political, social and economic commitment to manage the varying demographic conditions. <#LINE#> @ @ National  Institute  of  Population  Research  and  Training (NIPORT), Mitra and Associates, and Macro International, Bangladesh   Demographic   and   Health   Survey,   Dhaka, Bangladesh and Calverton, Maryland, USA (2009) @No $ @ @ The Daily Star, ‘Population 16.44 cr’, The Daily Star, The daily    Bangladeshi    newspaper,    available    online    at 21.10.2010 at http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news- details. php?nid=159325, 20(75), (2010) @No $ @ @ United  Nations,  ‘World  population  prospects:  The  2008 revision’.

<#LINE#>Future of the European Union’s Budget revenues – New own Resource based on Value added Tax<#LINE#>A.@Kaczynska<#LINE#>11-16<#LINE#>2.ISCA-IRJSS-2015-227.pdf<#LINE#>Poznan University of Economics, Al. Niepodleg&#322;o&#347;ci 10, 61-875 Pozna&#324;, POLAND<#LINE#>13/12/2014<#LINE#>19/8/2015<#LINE#>  Current legal regulations concerning European Union’s budget revenues are considered to be exceedingly complex and unclear both for professionals and citizens of the European Union countries. The main reason of the indicated problem is connected to the resource based on the value added tax and the own resource based on gross national income. This situation led to intensive work on the new own resources of the EU that would ensure financial autonomy in order to operate efficiently. Therefore, European Commission proposed two new types of revenues – financial transaction tax and new own resource based on VAT. The aim of this article is to present the new VAT-based revenue of the EU budget. Apart from the legal issues empirical analysis will be taken into consideration in order to examine whether new resource can be perceived as a stable source of EU revenues. Presumption of the impact of the economic situation on the VAT amounts collected by EU Member States is supported by recent financial crisis that affected majority of the European Union Countries. The analysis is carried out using linear regression model, where aggregated VAT revenues of EU are treated as dependent variable while aggregated gross domestic product of EU are used as explanatory variable. The study is conducted for years 2004-2012.<#LINE#> @ @ Consolidated Version Of The Treaty On The Functioning Of The European Union, Official Journal of the European Union, C 326/49 (2012) @No $ @ @ Consolidated Version Of The Treaty On The Functioning Of The European Union, Official Journal of the European Union, C 115/47 (2008) @No $ @ @ Treaty of Lisbon Amending The Treaty On European Union And The Treaty Establishing The European Community, http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/full_text/ index_en.htm (2007) @No $ @ @ European Commission, The European Union budget at a glance, http://ec.europa.eu/budget/library/biblio/publications /glance/budget_glance_en.pdf (2010) @No $ @ @ Euratom, Council Decision of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources, 2007/436/EC (2007) @No $ @ @ Florea N.M., Ganea M. and Seliteanu S., 2013, Structure and Evolution of EU Budget Revenue, Finance - Challenges of the Future, 1(15), 177 (2013) @No $ @ @ Council Decision of 26 May 2014on the system of own resources of the European Union, 2014/335/EU, Euratom 2014)  @No $ @ @ Afonso O. and Alves R.H., The Reform of the EU Budget: Finding New Own Resources, Intereconomics, May/June, 178 (2009) @No $ @ @ European Union, 2014 EU budget at a glance, Luxembourg, 25 (2014) @No $ @ @ European Parliament, Definitive Adoption of the European Union’s general budget for the financial year 2013, Official Journal of the European Union, 2013/102/EU, Euratom, 48-118 (2013) @No $ @ @ European Commission, EU budget 2012 – Financial Report, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 30 (2013) @No $ @ @ Czerniewska-Rutkowska M., Budet ogólny Unii Europejskiej – stan obecny i perspektywy, Centrum Doradztwa i Informacji Difin Sp.

Some control variables i.e., education, labor force participation and physical capital have also been included in the model because they have a key role in explaining the economic growth as suggested by various growth theories. To check long run dynamics we used ARDL approach and to find out short run dynamics we used error correction model (ECM). The study concluded that there exists a long run as well short run relationship between indicators of external sector and the economic growth. Foreign direct investment and trade openness positively affect economic growth while the external debt negatively effects economic growth of Pakistan. The variable physical capital has significant positive impact on economic growth in long run and insignificant negative impact in short run, while education and labour force participation rate have significant positive association with economic growth in short as well as in long run. It is suggested that gross domestic product can be increased with the increase in education/skills, labour force participation, trade openness and foreign direct invest. External debt inhibits economic growth of Pakistan. Government and higher authorities should formulate such policies that enhance the level of openness, physical capital, foreign direct investment, education and labour force participation for sustained economic growth of Pakistan.<#LINE#> @ @ Satija Kalpana1 and Patel Mohanm, Mainstreaming Women Employment and Human Development in Kheda District India- Sustainable Livelihood Approach to Poverty by UNDP, Int.

Matriliny of Malabar was known by the name of marumakkathayam. This was a system in which women were central to all family relations and property rights vested on women. Women and her children were the inheritors of the property. Nair households were known as tarawad and Nair marriages as sambandham. This was a unique system of marriage in which the male partner was devoid of any responsibility in a marital relationship. Usually nair women received husbands from upper castes, like the namboothiris- the Brahmin caste of Kerala. This article attempts to analyze the status of nair women and their so called “celebrated” freedom they enjoyed in their tarawads. There was a notion regarding nair women that, they unlike their counterparts in other castes, were free to take decisions on various issues including their marriage. In a patriarchal Indian society this was inconceivable. But this notion seems to be dwindling in the light of certain other sources. Status of women in the family and their rights were under the strict control of the eldest male member of the family, the karnavan. More studies are to be made in this respect to reveal the condition of nair women. <#LINE#> @ @ David M., Schneider and Kathleen Gough (ed), Matrilineal Kinship, (California, University of California Press, Preface, VII (1961) @No $ @ @ Elamkulam C. and Kunjan Pillai P.N., Studies in Kerala History, Trivandrum, 113 (1970) @No $ @ @ K.

Among such trees conspicuous are aam(mango), mahul (mahua flower), tentuli(tamarind), panas(jack fruit), kendu(tendu) and jamu(black berry)which provide them with plentiful of fruits. Besides the fruits, the Pengaparaja also get a number of other foods from the surrounding forest. The forest, in addition, also provides suitable setting for the abode of the wild animals, some of which are suitable games for the Pengaparja. They also earn some of their livelihood through the sale of MFPs. In spite of various constraints like less amount of availability in comparison to the labour involved, problem of marketability and hazardous access to the forest, the Pengaparaja collect a number of commercially important MFPs along with the produces of their essential use. A good number of Pengaparja from the villages having depleted forest resources engage themselves in silling fuel wood as asource of income.  <#LINE#> @ @ Vidyarthi L.P. and Binaya Kumar Rai, Tribal culture of India.

However the majority of attention seemed to be garnered by Hindu majority to the exclusion of other sections of female population, for instance Muslim women, a minority within a minority for on account of their of gender and faith and have been struggling for a rightful place ever since the inception of feminist movement in British India. The image of Aryan woman, apparently a Hindu reconstruction developed during the colonial period was oblivious of other categories of Indian women including Muslim women who presently constitute sixty five million to population and whose minority concerns crops up incidentally in cases like 1985’s Shah Bano case or the recent Rahim Bi’s case in Bombay High Court indicating the void in scholarly pursuits in this area. In this backdrop, the present paper attempts an analysis of the condition of Muslim women of colonial Bengal who residing in a time and space shared by more illustrious bhadramahila, the modernised Hindu/ Brahmo women found little notice in the feminist historiography. Contrary to their deemed passivity and backwardness, these Muslim women did react to changing times and expressed their feminist consciousness, of course on their own terms specific to their unique social contexts and a study on it is but a step towards a more inclusive approach to gender studies. <#LINE#> @ @ Sarkar Sumit and Tanika Sarkar, eds, Women and Social Reform in Modern India vol , Ranikhet: Permanent Black,1 (2011) @No $ @ @ Basu Subho and Sikata Banerjee, The Quest for Manhood: Masculine Hinduism and Nation in Bengal, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East,26(3),476-490 Duke University Press (2006) @No $ @ @ Anagol Padma, The Emergence of Feminism in India, Hampshire:Ashgate Publication, 5 (2005) @No $ @ @ Amin Sonia Nishat, The World of Muslim Women in Colonial Bengal, Leiden: E J Brill, 10 (1996) @No $ @ @ Sarkar Mahua, Visible Histories Disappearing Women.

But many factors are there due which our country could not achieve that status even after many years of independence. Among them the major factor is education on which all other factors like economic, social, political etc. depend. Our country is educationally backward; one of the reasons of this backwardness is that the level of education is not uniform across all the states. Some states are educationally developed and some are backward. Therefore, in the present research article the author made an attempt to analyze the educational imbalance existing among the state. <#LINE#> @ @ Gupta R.C., Whither Indian Education (An Appraisal of Indian Education from the Vedic to the Present Day,New Delhi: B.R.
